Optical contract manufacturing (EMS) · AI interconnect
Fabrinet
A leader in optical contract manufacturing (EMS) that does not design products but does the optical packaging, assembly and test of transceivers, lasers and modules for NVIDIA, Cisco, AWS, Lumentum and Coherent — the 'picks and shovels' of AI optics, riding the AI optical-interconnect boom without product risk. FY2025 revenue of $3.4B (+19%) grew on surging datacom/HPC, but the structural feature is customer concentration: NVIDIA 27.6% and Cisco 18.2% make two customers 46% of revenue. The re-rating axis is the hyperscaler-direct channel opened by the AWS relationship (its first direct hyperscaler tie, in 2025).

Fabrinet's thesis is 'the contract-manufacturing picks-and-shovels of AI optics, with customer-concentration risk.' Doing only packaging/assembly/test without design keeps product risk low, but NVIDIA 27.6% plus Cisco 18.2% make the top two customers 46% of revenue — NVIDIA's rise diluted older customers (Lumentum from 15.4% in FY23 to under 10% by FY25) and the Infinera relationship rolled up under Nokia. The new axis is AWS-direct (warrant-linked), where HPC revenue jumped 5.7x from $15M in Q1 FY26 to $85.6M in Q2. In the graph the demand side (avg +66.6%) runs well ahead of the stock (+3.5%), so customers' AI-optics demand moves first. The key is expanding hyperscaler-direct; the risk is dependence on NVIDIA's roadmap and a few customers.
